The Egg McMuffin is an iconic breakfast sandwich packing a fried egg, bacon, toasted bread, and cheese in one to-go package. McDonald's Executive Chef Dan Coudreaut demonstrates how to cook it yourself at home.

You only really need a few simple ingredients and equipment to replicate the Egg McMuffin. The only thing you might not have is a ring mold (to make the fried eggs round), but a mason jar ring could be a good substitute.

Besides the step-by-step instructions here, Coudreaut offers several useful tips (as he did when sharing the company's Big Mac instructions). For example, you can easily break the egg yolk just by tapping the center of the yolk with the egg shell (around 2:18). Another tip is to add a little water to the pan; this creates steam for cooking the egg and getting it nice and fluffy.
